Never Famous

Fillmore Slim OG

// January 20th, 2010 // Lifestyle

Hypebeast has posted an interesting video interview with Fillmore Slim the old school San Francisco pimp.

Fillmore Slim made a name for himself on the streets of San Francisco beginning in the late ’50’s that carries through today. He has since left the game to pursue his music career, but his iconic image is anything but forgotten. Rolling around SF in his Cadillac, he recounts his role in pimpin’, run-ins with the law, and what lead him back to his original love, the blues.

Known to many from the Hughes Brothers classic American Pimp, Slim holds court in this three part video interview. West Coast rap owes this man some royalties. You here me Too Short and E-40?
